Solo trip with the pup
My Happy Place was the perfect spot for a solo trip with my pup. April was the BEST hostess. She had every detail covered in this cute little cottage. The fenced backyard was perfect and the location was great. The screened front porch was perfect for a rainy day. I could not ask for a better place or hostess. Next time, I guess I’ll let my husband tag along. Ha! There’s even room for another couple.

Happy Place indeed!
This clean, cozy cottage was perfect for our needs. We loved the games and DVDs onsite and our dog loved the back yard space! The host has labeled items making navigating the cottage/ locating items easy. Communication with the host was fantastic. We enjoyed our time here and hope to visit again soon!
